MY TOP 10 GOALS IN LIFE.
I'll try to present these goals in priority-decreasing order from 1 to 10, but I know I'll not attain the perfect order (after all, priorities in life necessarily change more than once, from my experience in my first 3.7 decades of life)!
One other key point I'll make now is that this article represents my top 10 life goals which I've held since my mid-adolescence. Interestingly, I held the same goals at that age, but there were simply less than 10 to choose from (namely, 10 truly rigid goals to aim toward).
1.(A soon-to-be-fulfilled goal, I hope)Build my house and music studio on the family farm.
2.Continue to pursue my greatest inner talent and most loved art of music (as a composer, performer, recorder and ultimately, independant artists' label).
3.Maintain a steady flow in my career success as a field exploration geologist. The money's good, the job description's usually interesting, and by keeping steady pace for another decade or so should allow me to ease off geology and focus more on music.
4.Based on point 3, start steering more of my energy and intent toward assisting my family with management of the farm (made much easier by living on the property itself)
5.Kick-start a happy family (regardless of when, as long as I'm ready)
6.Revisit scientific study at a tertiary academic level some time in the future. Probably looking into astrophysics, cosmochemistry and any possible crossover studies with geology and those aforementioned fields.
7. Consider having a go at being a semi-professional writer in my later years, only that I can't tell anyone what the subject matter will be!
8. Anticipate the increasing amount of enjoyment I get out of growing older and WISER!
9. Be an activist on environmental issues in our local community.
10. NEVER concern myself with material wealth!
